A note from Mario

Greetings from Miami, and my apologies for not updating this blog the past 24 hours, as we are accustomed to. My 80-year-old mother has had surgery this morning and I have been taking care of her and will continue to do so to make sure she moves thorugh a speedy recovery. To all of you who have sent me notes and mails, I appreciate your support and good wishes. On behalf of my mama, “muchas gracias” to all. She appreciates your good thoughts and prayers. Keep them coming.

I don’t guarantee the regularity of my blog posts the next few days, and I thank you for your understanding. Will do our best here!
